linking with flash buttons

my flash buttons only work once in templates?

I have just started using templates for my pages but a problem has arisen. I use little animated flash buttons in my nav bar, which seem to work fine and link you to the page. But when you hit the same button in the page you have opened (so your pressing a button that links to the page you are viewing) it comes up with the "cannot find server, page cannot be displayed" old carrot. Is there an inherent problem using a combination of .swf buttons and templates? Or can anyone help with this?
Thanks

This sits odd with me. If the browser reports it cannot find the server, then it's being asked to find an incorrect URL.

Templates should not be the issue, just in and of themselves (I assume you mean DreamWeaver templates?) But something is obviously off.

If you view the source in the page where the error occurs, do you see an incorrect URL?

Definitely odd Tedster? especially if YOU don't know why. I have b*ggered about with this for too long and it still won't work. When I have some funky idea, I usually quickly set something up to see if it works, before I press on with it. But sometimes I mess up the links as the set-up isn't yet structured. But I have taken my time to thoroughly check this idea out a dozen times, but it just won't work. As I have said, it will go to a page but won't open the same page you are in, and it works fine if I just use a gif as a button? Can I use javascript to call the page instead of the <a href> tag? maybe that'll work? if not I'll just use gifs and be damned!

It's ok, I've figured it out. For the record, this was my problem: I noticed that in the template my links went up a level out of the templates folder, but the link modified on the page the template is applied to. I saw a link that was ../blah.htm in the template and just blah.htm in the uneditable code on the page using the template. All I have to do is navigate from page to page with my flash buttons ignoring the template, and it should work. Obviously I don't know much about templates eh?
Thanks anyway
